Helmut Berger, my mother and I

On a whim, the director's mother googles the movie hero of her youth: Helmut Berger. She is shocked: All that seems to be left of the former icon is an addicted, confused shadow who - if at all - only makes a name for himself with scandals and is a sad figure in the “jungle camp”. Without further ado, the financial controller decides to stop the decline of the once “most beautiful man in the world” and is convinced that Helmut Berger just needs the right coaching and a serious job, then he'll be fine. It doesn't take long before the capricious actor is actually sitting on his mother's sofa in a village in Lower Saxony, where he stays for several months. The country air does him good - and while Helmut Berger unfolds his life in front of the camera, the boundaries between film crew, international star and family become blurred.
